. benette had done a workmanlike job laying out the facts in the complaint . the hannas had been celebrating their tenth wedding anniverary by spending the weekend at lake tahoe at the ace high lodge , one block f had provided the south r stateline casinos . they had gone to a show at prize's and walked back , then stepped out to the second floor baclcony of their room .
there , according to the dry legalese of the wrong time , at thirty eight , third grade reacher sarah hanna had been shot once through the heart . she was three months pregnant .
there were few traces of gunman or other witnesses . the motel clerk . mereridith assawaroj , had heard the shotsds from an adjioning property . she had missed seeing the killler but.
but had provided the south lake tahoe police with a fair description of the three motel guest who had been held up , young people who had packed up and left before the police arrived .
the clerk's descriptions of these three led nowhere . the gun hadn't been left the scene .. the witnesses had paid in cash and the description provided had been inadequate tio find them . nina made a note to find out more about that .
now the ace higjh lodge wanted out of hanna's lawsuit , whiich alleged that its cleerks should have been in the office , that the motel securityu should havre been in the office , that the motel security should have been better , and so on and so on , hanna might have had some sort of case on the merits if he had pursued it , but leaving it to languish for so long had exposed him to betty jo puckett's motion to dismiss .
puckett's work looked god . her law was solid, statutory limits restricted the ability of plaintiffs to file a lawsuit and them do nothing , as dave hanna had done .
puckett had apparently advised the motel owner well low for as long as possible and then attack hanna for failure to prosecute . nina hadn't met the lawyer , but the courtroom grapevine said she had an effective style .
